16.9 MULTIBAND CONTROL AND MULTIBAND PROCESS /2
The Multiband Process section contains four parameters: Coupling, MultiBand Process, Final Limiter Drive, and Final
Limiter Bass Drive, with Brilliance Control, Limiter LookAhead Mode, Expander, Overdrive, Super Bass Mode and Super
Bass Harmonizer
16.9.1 Multiband Process:
This control shows process behaviour of the Falcon XT. Various controls are grouped together under a few simple use
conditions. The controls grouped together in these four functions are conventional preset controls for a multiband
compressor, i.e. Attack, Release, and Threshold Gate. The action and compression modes are:
PROTECTIVE -
NORMAL - AGGRESSIVE - EXTREME
.
PROTECTIVE
is a limited type of compression, which tends to maintain a natural sound. In the NORMAL mode, the
compression parameters applied to the audio sent to the processor are slightly emphasized and the compression ratio is
increased, while a balance is maintained between the audio details of the material inputted and the compression applied.
The conditions for
AGGRESSIVE
and
EXTREME
, meanwhile, are different, as strong compression ratios are entered for
the AGGRESSIVE mode and even stronger ones are used for the EXTREME mode, creating a typically ‘pumped up’
sound. Generally speaking, the Multiband Process Aggressive and Extreme modes are designed to emphasize audio
material that already has little musical detail. This could be continuous musical content, such as heavy metal or hard
rock, or particularly complex audio material.
16.9.2 Coupling (Band Coupling)
The bandwidth coupling control can limit the ability of the bandwidths to work too independently, thereby destroying the
spectral balance of the original audio material inputted in the processor. The options available are
LOW – MID – HIGH
,
where Low means a low coupling between the bandwidths, so that they can work as independent as possible, while
HIGH tends to make the bandwidths work together as much as possible. MID mode offers a good compromise to enable
greater re-equalization for a more coherent tonal balance.
16.9.3 Brilliance Control
The Brilliance Control adjusts the brilliance of the sound, by
amplifying or reducing its brightness. The control can be set
within a range of -6.0dB to +6.0dB.
